Happy holidays!

This is going to be a pretty short report. I'm taking some time off for the holidays. I might work a bit on Ymir, but it'll be by choice or to do support.

I plan on starting back on the second week of January. So it might be a month before the next report.

Otherwise, it's been a quiet cycle.

PRODUCT

You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.

I spent most of the cycle just wrapping up the work on the CloudFront cache invalidation. I had quite a few bugs with it and released some fixes throughout the week. But it seems to be working fine now! 🤞

MARKETING

I've been working on a huge CloudFront guide. It's done and ready to go! I decided that to hold off publishing it until next year.

My @cloudfront page caching article is pretty much done. But I don't think it makes sense publishing it on December 23rd. Seems better to wait after the holidays.
Thoughts?

Business is continuing to grow this month. I've had a few trials. All, but one converted so far. There's one more left that converts on December 30th. If that works out, then I'll be at 17 subscribers :)

Ymir Report #70 — WordCamp Asia, Japan and logging changes

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Greetings from Japan! I've been here for the past two weeks after going to WordCamp Asia. This is probably my last trip to Asia for the foreseeable future. I will probably go to CloudFest instead of WordCamp Asia next year. I can't afford to do both. There has been little work done on Ymir because I had friends visiting Tokyo until last week. I've also been...

Ymir Report #68 — WordCamp Phoenix

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Happy Monday! I'm a bit delayed sending this report out. (It's also not really edited 😅) I got back home at midnight from WordCamp Phoenix. I gave the serverless WordPress talk I gave at WordCamp Asia last year. The talk went great and the WordCamp itself was surprisingly good. I didn't expect to network as well as at a flagship WordCamp. But I did so it feels...

Ymir Report #67 — Year in review

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Happy New Year! It's been a little bit since the last update. I hope you're doing well 💖I took some time off during the holidays, but a lot less than I probably should have or needed. I ended up doing some work anyways 🫠 The big thing I did was write my year in review. This was a very draining exercise to do because I talk a lot about ADHD, mental breakdowns,...
